TexSAW2024 OSINT: Sherlock Writeup

CTF link.

I need to study for a class but the quizlet I’m using has jumbled up answers that just don’t make sense. Can you figure out how to read it?

When we go to the Quizlet application, we see the Twitter link of the creator.

The Twitter account “Vigenère cipher! 🔑 HACK” shows us what the answers on the cards are encrypted with and the encryption key.

When we examine the card answers one by one, one stands out: the use of curly brackets.

We decode the answers on the two cards using any Vigenere Cypher decoder.
